There were 14 of us that traveled to New York from Philadelphia by a limo bus. We arrived in less than 2 hrs. The porters and security were fast and easy. I was alittle worried after some of the reviews of the Spirit ( I've only been on RCCL), but I think they were either exaggerated or people just looking to complain. The freestyle seating was alittle frustrating to us the first night because we had a large party. But the rest of the time it was great because we made reservations. We found that 5:30 was a great time because that's when the dinning room opens. We then had time to go to show or clubs after dinner. We ate every night in Windows except the first night in The Garden. We liked Windows better and we always requested the same two servers.

I thought the rooms were fine. We had an inside cabin and our daughter was with us in a bunk. We brought a power stick so we had plenty of outlets. We tipped the stewards when we first arrived to ensure we had ice every night and a towel animal for our daughter.
